It’s pretty strange when you stop and think about it - we’re being lectured simultaneously that being male is prima facie evidence of some sort of inherent defect, yet, being a transvestite, wearing a dress and lopping off body parts is totally normal.
Yeah, all the people pushing this crap are loony tune.
We need a pool on how soon Gillette apologizes.
Imagine the Gillette boardroom presentation discussion about this...
How many sat there knowing it would be a PR disaster, but we’re afraid to say a word against it, it could mean the end of their careers?
Schick it where the sun don’t shine.
Yep... liberals want to change men into pussies because they can’t handle men.

What Gillette forgot is that it is in a competitive market and forgot who their customer is. I am switching to Costco blades, any other shave cream or new shave products. Let them sell their female products since they don’t call him male to the female and transpeople crowd. Good luck with 50% of the market. Stupid marketing.
Note that this article was written by Piers Morgan. When you’ve lost Piers, you’ve got a real problem.
I'm sorry. But those are two games I have enjoyed for many decades and will NOT give them up nor apologize for enjoying them..
Sounds like Gillete is being run by a....dare I say it...foreigner.
“Specifically, it stated that male traits like ‘stoicism’, ‘competitiveness’, ‘achievement’, ‘eschewal of the appearance of weakness’, ‘adventure’, and ‘risk’ are bad and should be expunged. “
So they are admitting that there is a difference between men and women?
2 boys, 2 girls here. Markedly different personalities. The 2 boys are daredevils. We talk about smart decisions, being safe. We talk them back from the edge, but they still want to look over the edge. Blood, bruises, and scars, and they laugh about it. Boys.
One is in college studying engineering. The other is still in high school but talking the trade route and mechanics or military.
Boys.
Like our political elites, America’s corporate elites live in a bubble. Having worked in both arenas, I can say both have very strong bureaucratic, in-group, conformist cultures, where having the proper attitudes, opinions and slogans are how one survives.
Its particularly important in consumer marketing-type companies, like P&G, Coca Cola, Nike Unilever, Kraft/Mondelez, General Mills - where image is everything to their managers.
So this PC crap flows uninterrupted within the bubble from their public schools, to universities, to their graduate degrees, to their work environments.
The real question is in who’s interest is it to glorify and promote weakness in men? An obvious culprit is a government that seeks to subjugate and oppress people. Has Gillette simply mistaken a bandwagon mentality for a substantive social cause? We can only hope. In the meantime I will grow a beard.
Lefties avoid contact with non-lefties. So the men they are familiar with and worship are the likes of
* Bill Clinton
* Harvey Weinstein
* NFL kneelers (and other NFLers who beat up women)
* Carlos Danger
* The males of South Chicago, Philly, Ferguson, MS-13, etc. who work hard to protect and excuse
When that’s what they know about men, it’s easy to understand why they think “masculinity” is toxic and why they prefer all men be more like pajama boy.
I think Gillette just wanted to be known as the gay blade. Straight men and most women want men to be men. But a toxic group of gays from both sexes want to squash straight men. And clearly they work in the advertising account for P&G.
You know it’s bad when — of all people — Piers Morgan feels his “masculinity” has been insulted.
Piers Morgan has suddenly become a conservative. Welcome aboard.
APA trying to drum up business. Whatever happened to “first, do no harm?”
